This one is not open to everyone. Whether you can invite anybody depends on your account, and it is offered in-product rather than advertised.
Share your Kraken invite link
We hold no link for this one — nobody can have an account everywhere. Add yours and it goes in front of the next person who asks.
If we already hold a link for this one, yours goes on file rather than live — we swap it in if it turns out to be the better offer.
What Kraken pays for inviting a friend

- New account via the in-app link, a fiat deposit, and the trading volume shown in-app — all within 30 days of creating the account
- Payout delay
- Paid within 14 days
- Cap
- Up to $1,000 in the Kraken app; $200 in Kraken Pro
- Availability

The $20 is fixed but the effort to earn it is not — Kraken sets the deposit and volume thresholds variably and only shows them in-app.
